Film Playlist 8 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) I removed a playlist from my provider (unrelated to the stations you see below), the next thing I know, I can't update my EPG. Despite everything still being mapped, I can't get my channel information restored. All that hard work. I even replaced a backup of my old TVxml file. I'm using a Linux seedbox (Ubuntu 20.04) with my Roku. I sent the logs through my Roku. I don't know if you guys need me to send my logs from my seedbox; but I can't on this public forum, as the logs contain my IP address as well as my seedbox DNS.

ebr 14905 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Hi. This is not isolated to the Roku, right? Possibly related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume if I can't get Emby to grab EPG updates, it would be universal problem. It's very frustrating, to painstakingly map almost every channel, then to experience this problem. This has happened to me before, I ignored it because I first thought I did something to mess it up. Now I see it's an actual bug. Guides are very important; without them I'm forced to use an online TV guide, and then search for my channel. That's a lot more unnecessary work for users. Please ask the developers to look into this? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Film Playlist 8 Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 @ebr Now when I try to edit a channel, it appears I'm waiting indefinitely. So, there is a problem with the channels/guide This also could be the reason I couldn't use the voice feature, on the Roku version of Emby.

I can't be the only one experiencing this. I don't understand why a vital functionality has been broken for so long.

Luke 37029 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 How many guide data sources have you configured? Are you using the Emby Guide Data source that you added? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using the Emby Guide Data source that you added? When I manually map, I primarily use Emby Guide Data USA-NY55899-F, but on occasion, I think i've also used Emby Guide Data USA-OTA10456 for some channels I can't find. I also think you guys have an automated processing for external EPG that's in XMLtv, which looks like it only maps local television (non-premium). But, those are gone now too. I get zero guide information for any channel. The only thing I did was remove a 24/7 list feed (directly from my provider) I realize I no longer needed. All of a sudden, all my work gone up in smoke, and there's no way to restore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37029 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 What I would suggest is to to back into your emby guide data entries and reconfigure them. One of them is throwing an error for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should I go back and painstakingly do everything over, when the xml file I backed up and replace didn't work? That's not a solution! If I can't reliably back up files and expect tings to function again, Do all of this because you say, some file some where gave an error? Emby is not worth using for IPTV. Also, it's really disappointing that as long as Emby been around, this issue exist. Edited March 5, 2023 by Film Playlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might just have to pick a different guide data lineup if Gracenote has changed something. Nothing too involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, as I've explained in the screenshot, I could not configure anything. it stayed frozen. I ended up restoring emby on my seedbox. Again, the backup I made (you told me to do) was a waste of time. it did not do anything. None of Emby's EPG plugin mapped any channels. The only one that worked was XMLTV, which was pointing to my provider's guides. The only thing that WAS NOT automatically mapped was the premium channels, such as HBO & Starz. I'm not gonna remap anything anymore. This is a hassle, and I'm thoroughly disappointment and frustrated with the Emby application..
